How To Put Juice in a Vape or How To Change Vape Juice: A How-to-Guide

Let’s be real: if you’re just starting out, figuring out how to put juice in a vape or how to change vape juice can feel like trying to solve a puzzle without the picture on the box. But don’t worry — we’ve got you. Whether you’re refilling your tank for the first time or swapping flavors, this quick guide breaks it all down in a super simple way.

Also, if you’ve ever wondered things like “Why does my vape juice taste harsh?” or “How do I make my vape juice last longer?”, stick around — we’ll drop some juicy blog recs at the end.

 

First Things First

This how-to is mainly for vapes that use tanks with coil heads (a.k.a. prebuilt coils). If you’re rocking an open pod system, the process is pretty similar. Just rinse the pod in hot water, soak it for 20–30 minutes, let it dry for an hour, and refill with your favorite vape juice or nicotine salt.

Pro tip: If you're just here to refill, skip straight to Step 3.

Step 1: Clean Your Tank

Before you dump in that delicious new flavor, make sure your tank is clean — especially if you're switching juices. Here’s how:

  1. Take your tank apart. (Yes, fully. Keep track of the pieces!)
  2. Soak all the parts (except the coil) in warm water with a drop of dish soap for about 30 minutes.
  3. Dry them with a towel. Q-tips are your friend for tight corners.
  4. Still sticky? Give the parts another soak and scrub gently with an old toothbrush or more Q-tips.
  5. Once everything’s dry and clean, reassemble the tank.

Clean tank = clean flavor.

Step 2: What To Do With the Coil

You’ve got two options here:

Option A: Just Replace It

The easiest way to get fresh flavor is to pop in a new coil. Most coils either unscrew or press-fit into place — no rocket science needed.

Option B: Clean and Reuse It

Trying out new flavors a lot? Coils can get pricey, so here’s how to clean them:

  1. Fill a bowl with hot water and 2 teaspoons of vinegar — yes, any kind.
  2. Soak your coil(s) for at least 3 hours.
  3. Rinse under hot, running water with good pressure.
  4. Let them dry completely on a towel for at least 24 hours.

Not every coil will come back to life, but it’s a great trick if you’re in flavor-experiment mode.

Step 3: How To Put Juice in a Vape

Let’s juice it up.

  1. Prime your coil first. Add a drop of vape juice to each cotton opening and a couple down the center. Let it soak in.
  2. Install the coil back into the tank.
  3. Open the fill slot (usually a sliding top or rubber stopper), then fill to the line.
  4. Let your tank sit for 5 minutes. This gives the coil time to fully soak up the juice.

Boom. You're ready to vape that fresh new flavor.

Final Puff

And that’s it! You now know how to put juice in a vape, how to change vape juice, and even how to clean old coils to save a few bucks. Whether you're a flavor-hopper or just getting started, you're officially vape-savvy.
